John Kerry Hailed a Hero After Brokering Afghan Election Deal [View all]
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/john-kerry-hailed-hero-after-brokering-afghan-election-deal-n155216Hi everybody! have not been around in a LOOOOONG time, but this I just HAD to post. Just a taste of what you will find at the link:
Taxi driver Noor Ahmad said he was happy and excited that the deal had been reached with Kerry’s help.
“I ask the government of Afghanistan to give this tall man — I call him Jan Agha — Afghan citizenship so he might be able to run for president next time," the 47-year-old said, using a title of honor to refer to Kerry. "I am so grateful for Jan Agha’s tireless efforts to bring our politicians together and help end the uncertainty."
“Thank you, Mr. John,” Ahmad added in English.
